Well, I did put my patch to my l2-mtd-2.6.git tree:

http://git.infradead.org/users/dedekind/l2-mtd-2.6.git/commit/6e6e7d0e163148c620b4807b1ffac973f9805f20

I just put it to the dunno branch which means "I did not review this".
The master branch contains the stuff I did review.

And the idea was that dwmw2 would then take a look at all these patches
and merge them. He did merge the stuff from the master branch, but did not
merge the stuff from the dunno branch (yet).

I know it is frustrating when maintainers ignore patches, we feel this pain
with ARM patches, for example. It is unpleasant to re-send patches 4 times,
and get zero response, not even "I have not time now" one. On the other hand,
I understand maintainers who are busy with other things.

So I just try to help by collecting people's stuff, review _some_ of it, but
I do not merge this upstream.
